I remember that day very clearly. It was Halloween October 31, 2003. It was a school day, a long school day as I recall. It was a long day because the next day was important for me; I had the SAT test and my very last home volleyball game. It was my senior night. I was in frenzy all day. I remember English class and my teacher returned my “About You” essay. I read over it one last time to see how I scored, and was glad to receive an A on the paper. I read the part about my best friend, Ginny Blackburn. I remember writing about some of our childhood memories and games. I read the paper with a smile on my face. I thought about Ginny for a moment because we had always spent Halloween trick-or-treating together. Like last year, we weren’t going to this year either. I thought about how far apart we had grown in the past few years. I always had that on my mind. I remember as I was on my way to class, I saw Ginny walking down the hall in my direction. When we came close to each other, I smiled at her. She didn’t seem to notice. I didn’t even say ‘hello.’ I will always regret not saying hello to her that day.

That night I watched a movie with a couple of girl friends. I ended up going home early because I was a little worn out and knew tomorrow was a big day. I crawled into bed as soon as I got home. I remember that I didn’t sleep well that night; my mind was racing. Eventually, I must have fallen asleep because the phone call at exactly 2:00 in the morning startled me. My mom ran down stairs to get it. I heard that tone in her voice that you hear when something is very wrong. I thought first of my grandma. I could tell by her voice something bad had happened. I felt a knot in my stomach and my eyes started to burn. She came upstairs past my room, but I asked her what had happened. She told me that the phone call was from Tammy, Ginny’s mom. She called to ask for prayers because there has been a terrible accident. Ginny and her boyfriend, David,...

...To what Extent can Gemmy be regarded as Representing a Paradigm Shift in the Mind Set of the Settlers?
In the novel Remembering Babylon by David Malouf, the character Gemmy causes the settlers to change their attitudes towards Australia. At first, the settlers have a very negative view of the land that they had colonised, but when Gemmy joins them he makes them realise that it is not so bad after all. He teaches them some of the things that he learned from his time living with the Aborigines. These ideas then transform the settlers’ mind set and their attitude towards Australia.
In the beginning, the settlers did not feel like they wanted to be in Australia; they thought that Scotland was much better. During the flashbacks of how George Abbott came to Australia, it shows how inferior Australia is seen. When he was told that he would go to Australia, it says “Australia. That was the word Mr Robertson had dropped into the room. The silence deepened around it, then spread” (Malouf 45). The reaction to the word Australia shows how poorly he thought of it, which is signified through the use of mood. In this passage, the mood is very surprised, but in a negative way almost as if it was unthinkable to suggest it. George Abbot later described Australia as a “...godforsaken place...” (Malouf 46). This mind set is shared by Lachlan when he moves to Australia. He thinks that “The bush – it wasn’t even a country – was of no interest...” (Malouf 49). The fact that he...

Concept: it is defined as the 1st stage of idea generation on the basis of which the event is taken forward or given as well defined shape.
The concept plays a very important role as this is at this stage, they are dropped or accepted and it is only from here that the next 3 stages which of costing, canvassing and customization takes place.
A good concept clubbed with other elements can determine the success as well as the level of the event
Costing: costing is the 2nd stage of event designing in which the approximate cause costs are calculated for logistics venue marketing and all the other factors associated with that event.
The costing is determined once the concept is approved. The nature of event is determined and profile of our target audience is clearly understood. It is very important , the target audience & the concept as that determines the level of the event, the marketing and promotional tours and above all the venue.
Canvassing: is basically divided into 2 stages or 2 parts. 1st is basically to lure the sponsors into the event. It is important that the nature of the event and the profile of the sponsor matches as a mis match can cause damage to the...

“The day is not far off when economic problems will take the back seat where it belongs, and the arena of the heart and head will be occupied or reoccupied, by our real problems – the problems of life and of human relations, of creation and behaviour” (Keynes 1945). What Keynes describes is becoming more of a necessity to consider and more likely to happen. As ‘real problems’ like dwindling planetary resources and the globes ever increasing population take over our lives. Businesses and managers that don’t prioritize sustainability is some way will not survive, and it is argued, will not be worth saving. This...

...﻿Types of Event Requiring Management
Introduction
There are many different types of events for an event manager to organise! In this unit I will be talking about some of the most popular types of events including a birthday party and an outdoor festival! I will explain the necessary processes, goods and services that might be required for the specific event.
Birthday Party Planning
As an event manager you could be asked to plan someone’s 1st birthday to any range of adults birthday parties – all birthday parties can be very different due to the age, range, theme and style required by the client!
Consultation Process
Just like any event, start at the beginning with the consultation process of planning a birthday party with the client is crucial to ensure that they receive the event they expect. If the event manager is planning a child’s party consultation will usually be with the parent or guardian but the older the child gets the more likely they are to get involved in this process. If offering a birthday party event management service, the event manager may want to consider applying for a DBS formerly known as CRB (Criminal Records Bureaux) check, as it would serve as reassurance for the parents and also enhance the event manager’s status.
It is necessary that when consulting with...
